Reviews

Arsen Tomsky serves as a true model for anyone living with stuttering. His personal and powerful message provides inspiration to those of us facing adversity and challenges.

Entrepreneurs are heroes, especially those who break molds, create new businesses, and help provide for the livelihood of their teammates and partners. Arsen and his story are extraordinary. A super smart guy from the coldest place on earth — Siberia — is bound to see the world differently when he sets out to explore it. 'Inner Drive' is filled with inspiration and 'you must be kidding me' moments but the proof of success is in the rapidly growing company he continues to build in emerging markets around the world.

"A compelling and moving account of what can be accomplished when someone focuses on the opportunities, not the obstacles. Arsen Tomsky's relentlessly creative and curious mind is coupled with a positive spirit motivated to drive positive change in the world, from Siberia to Latin America and Africa.

The future of our world depends on those who create and develop solutions to address pressing global issues. A fairer world and future rest on the shoulders of individuals like these. The captivating story of inDrive, presented in this book, serves as an excellent, motivating example of a team that started from "below 0" in every sense, and achieved greater and greater things through a constant vector of positive impact on the world.
